I couldn't hold off once I had the dandy in my hand and had honed it up to pass the HHT so I shaved and wondered what I'd been afraid of.

One simple rule though, and this goes for every blade regardless of the shape or size ...
Always know where every millimetre of the edge is and what it's doing at all times.
